Bowling, Sherlock,

Not a lot happening in my world at the moment. We still have our decorations up. Kind of planned to take them down at the weekend but didn't. Traditionally - for me anyway - decorations don't come down til Twelfth Night but we may start taking them down before.

Went bowling today, Monday, and the place was incredibly crowded. Not only our league members, but seemed to be dozens of outsiders coming in at as well. In fact I guess for most people today was the holiday anyway as NY Day was a Sunday. Hadn't thought of that. I bowled moderately well, Matt, who has been beating me all the time lately, did pretty badly today, our other team member did fairly well and our fourth didn't turn up. Turns out he was sick anyway. I have a feeling our team will be on the bottom now. Oh well, only one way to go, right?

Sunday night, oddly enough, I started watching Sherlock Holmes. I didn't realise it was a modernised

version with Sherlock constantly texting and all kinds of modern situations. I ended up watching the whole programme although my untechy husband hadn't a clue what was happening. All the texts and pictures from the phones were shown on the screen along side whoever was sending or receiving. Bit confusing at first. I think I might watch it again. It was a good story. That reminds me, saw something on TV this morning about touch screen gloves!!! They only last a couple of years though. Useful if you are outside in the cold with your phone I guess.

I have just decided to make a new cookbook section in my cookbook programme, Living Cookbook, and have called it "To Be Tried". I tend to save recipes and unless I print them straight away, forget I which ones they were that I was going to try out. This is the first one in the new folder.

1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken to a Ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Massage to spread the marinade over all the chicken and marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, but preferably overnight.

2. Get grill to medium high (350°F). Remove chicken from the marinade and set aside.

3. Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes each side. Bate with marinade on each side before turning.

4. Remove from grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh chili, cilantro and serve with lime wedges and steamed rice.

I sat down to watch Sherlock and had to rack my brain to remember the final episode from the last season. I guess I should have re-watched it. I was not too happy with this episode. I actually wondered if the constant texting in the episode was making fun of Trump.

I still have my decorations up as we always keep it up until 3 King's Day. I will start to take down a bit though but not until Thursday:) glad you enjoyed bowling even though crowded. I like Sherlock but I haven't kept up with it because hubby is not that much into it.

The new Sherlock was really hard to follow, but it's a great story nonetheless - that texting has been in it from the beginning way before Trump. Like yourself I"m debating taking down the decorations early - at least the cards, but I can't bear taking the tree down before the 6th. Good luck with the bowling this year :)

Mmmm. I love chicken just about any way. I put away all the seasonal decorations and am using the time to pack up some things for Goodwill. Getting rid of lots of stuff that I don't really need.My daughter and I love Sherlock. Earlier seasons are on Netflix

Even when I used to be Catholic, we never observed 12th Night. Some of my parents' friends did. If our decorations were still up into January, it was just cause my mom didn't get around to taking them down yet.
